Spain is one of the first countries to launch the so-called ‘Covid passports’ or 'green card' ahead of the official deadline on July 1, and the Ministry of Health has passed the responsibility of issuing the permits to regional authorities.
Here's how to get hold of a Covid certificate by region across Spain.

The green card can be requested through the ClicSalud + portal. Go to the Health section to download the digital certificate, and click on the Cl@ve section or enter your SIP health card number.
Alternatively, anyone over the age of 65 can have the document sent to their home by using the Salud Andalucía app.
